All Saints Sunday
THIS SUNDAY, November 2, we will recognize All Saints Sunday. This is a day our church joins together with churches around the world to recognize those in the faith who have gone before us and give thanks for the “great cloud of witnesses” that precedes us (Heb. 12:1). This goes for both the recognized saints of some Christian traditions, but also for the grace and work of God through ordinary people. We will have time in our worship service to call out the names of those we have lost and also to bring their pictures forward to honor and celebrate the faith they leave behind.
We invite you to bring a picture (no frame) of somebody you have lost to church THIS SUNDAY, November 2.

Christmas Choir
Have you ever sung in a choir? Have you ever sung at all? Are you really good at lip-syncing? You should join the choir! Just like the angels in Luke 2:14, we're going to lift our voices in worship to announce the coming of the Messiah in the form of a choir. Our Christmas Choir will be helping lead us in worship on Sunday, December 21 and on Christmas Eve as we welcome the coming Savior, and we would love for you to join us. Rehearsals will happen right after church on Nov. 30, Dec. 7, and Dec. 14. All ages and experience levels are welcome. Please reach out to Pastor Dan if you would like to join the choir.

Volunteer Opportunities
From the beginning of creation, God established holy rhythms of life and service for those who follow in God’s path. We each have personal seasons of rest and restoration, and of new life and service. Council Tree encourages spiritual wondering alongside the Holy Spirit to discern what spiritual season you may be in.
If you find yourself in a place where you have margin to serve, we could definitely use your gifts! If you feel God is calling you to explore serving, we would encourage you to start an exploratory conversation with a team lead to find out more.
